row letter from Mr.. George o. Jones,
chairman Of the National Greenback La
Dor party of New York, with reference to
the national labor convention which has
bean called TO meet 81 Cincinnati, on the
22d INST. Mr.. Jones disapproves of the
proposed convention. He says that
the National Greenback party
will have no official recogni-
ton at the meeting beyond what
may be obtained through it's national
committee, which for some unexplained
reason has been called to meet there on
on the day preceding the conference.
Sincerely believing that an intelligent IN

religion on earth for this day
and generation, and not being
informed that these principles are to be
made the leading feature of the coming
conference he will not attend that gath

if God spares his life until the campaign
of 1883, he Will meet with those who
come together, however great or small
their numbers may be as national Green
hackers.
